A few weeks ago, the Bowden family from Kindersley headed off on their annual vacation to Panorama Ski Resort in B.C. But when they arrived at their destination, they were shocked to find their black farm cat (Ash) had tagged along.
Jen Bowden and family travelled in one vehicle, accompanied by her sister-in-law in another vehicle. They stopped several times throughout the seven hour journey.
When they arrived they discovered a cat underneath her sisterin-law’s vehicle that quickly disappeared. Jen’s daughter, Jade was sure it was her farm cat, but her parents thought there was no possible way it could have made the trip.
“Jade was adamant it was her cat!” Jen said. It wasn’t just any farm cat; it was Jade’s favourite farm cat! “The next day my husband and I started calling around to see if anyone had seen this black cat. We called the vet and sure enough they
had it.”
They couldn’t believe it had managed to survive the trip, but it was definitely their farm cat, with the same markings! Jen realized it must have hidden in the plastic panel or splash shield under her sister-inlaw’s vehicle. “It was probably hiding in her car for two days,” she guessed.
Fortunately, weather conditions in BC were mild, so Ash was quite comfortable resting in a cat carrier in the back of their vehicle. “We fed it, took it for walks, something you would never see a farm cat do,” Jen said. “The things we do for our children!”
The family was shocked to see that their cat had survived the trip. Now “Adventure Ash”, as he’s been dubbed, is back home with his cat pals. Ash is healthy and happy, but even if he survives all nine of his lives, he probably won’t be going on any more family vacations.

Q:I want to see the new film “Jesus Revolution,” but I don’t like going to movie theaters. Can I watch it at home on my TV?
— H.W.
A:“Jesus Revolution” is the term Time magazine called an evangelical Christian revival that began on the West Coast in the 1960s and 1970s. The movie of the same name is based on that published article as well as on a real pastor, who is played by Kelsey Grammer (“Frasier”) in the film.
Jonathan Roumie co-stars in “Jesus Revolution” as Lonnie Frisbee, a charismatic street preacher who resembles Jesus. The actor started out doing guest roles in primetime shows like “Chicago Med” and “NCIS: Los Angeles,” but he seems to have found his calling of starring in faith-based projects in recent years. He’s played Jesus in three seasons of Angel Studios’ “The Chosen,” which can be streamed on Peacock.
At the time of this writing, “Jesus Revolution” is only available in theaters, where it’s been quite successful, generating more than $45 million. It will eventually be available for rent and/or purchase on the Vudu/Fandango streaming app (and perhaps someday a streaming platform like Prime Video and one of the network or cable channels). However, if you don’t want to take a chance on missing it, I’d venture out to your local ***

Q:
What is Kiefer Sutherland’s new show about? It looks like he’s playing Jack Bauer again. — L.J.
A:While
actor Kiefer Sutherland is best known for playing Jack Bauer on the hit Fox action series “24,” his new show “Rabbit Hole” is a completely different project and character for him altogether. It definitely caters to Kiefer’s fan base, though, but instead of playing a federal agent fighting terrorism, he’s a private espionage agent framed for murder.
“Rabbit Hole” comes from the creative minds of Emmy-winning producers John Requa and Glenn Ficarra (“This Is Us”), and the show co-stars Charles Dance (“The Crown”) and Rob Yang (“Succession”). The first season consists of only eight episodes, and the first two will premiere on March 26. It’s available exclusively on the Paramount+ stream-
ing service.
Sutherland had another successful series after “24” called “Designated Survivor,” where he becomes president of the free world after everyone above him in rank is killed in a catastrophic attack. It aired for two seasons on ABC before airing the third season on Netflix. He also recently played President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the Showtime original series “The First Lady.” Now, whether we’ll see him in a silly comedy anytime soon remains to be seen.
***
Q:What happened to the period piece drama “Sanditon”? Wasn’t it on Netflix? I tried to find it, and it’s gone. — A.K.
A:“Sanditon” recently had its third and final season premiere on PBS. The series is set during England’s Regency era, in the early 1800s at a seaside resort called Sanditon. It’s based on the unfinished novel by Jane Austen and stars Rose Williams. Andrew Davies, the Emmy and BAFTA award-winning screenwriter who has adapted classics like “Pride & Prejudice” and “Sense & Sensibility,” has done a wonderful job carrying out Austen’s original vision.

Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK brian.zinchuk@pipelineonline.ca
Not only was Saskatchewan setting electrical consumption records during the cold snap of last week of December, we also set two consecutive natural gas consumption records, too.
According to SaskEnergy in a Dec. 31 release, “Extreme cold weather across Saskatchewan this week resulted in record-breaking natural gas demand in the province. On December 28 and 29, natural gas consumption surpassed the previous daily record of 1.57 petajoules (PJ) which was set in February 2021.
MARTENSVILLE – If you’ve spent the last few years trying to put together the money to launch a new potash company, the announcement of Saskatchewan’s new Critical Mineral Strategy on March 27 just might sound like music to your ears.
plant, very similar to Chinook, is under construction at Moose Jaw.
looking to get off the ground, it is a really big deal.
All of this added natural gas-fired power generation has, in turn, driven higher usage of natural gas during times of high electrical consumption.
The Crown noted that increased demand from SaskEnergy’s industrial customers, including natural gas use for power production, was the main driver of this week’s record-setting consumption.
That certainly is the case for Steve Halabura, CEO and founder of Saskatchewan-based Buffalo Potash, a startup that’s seeking to apply oilfield techniques and technology to small modular potash development. (Halabura is also a columnist for Pipeline Online.)
“A new daily record of 1.62 PJ was set on December 28 and broken again on December 29 with total system delivery of 1.64 PJ. Delivery numbers for December 30 and 31 are not yet finalized, but are also expected to exceed 1.6 PJ.”
The natural gas records coincided with record power consumption. On Dec. 29, SaskPower set another record in power consumption for Saskatchewan. At 5:27 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2021, Saskatchewan homes and businesses reached 3,868 megawatts (MW) in power use, according to the Crown corporation. The previous record of 3,792 MW was reached four years ago to the day, on Dec. 29, 2017.
Saskatchewan’s power production has increasingly shifted from coal to natural gas as a fuel source. In December, Boundary Dam Unit 4, a coal-fired generating unit, was retired, reducing the Boundary Dam Power Station to 672 megawatts capacity. On the natural gas side, Saskatchewan has seen the construction of several new natural gas-fired power plants. They include the baseload North Battleford Power Station (289 megawatts), Yellowhead Power Station peaking plant (also at North Battleford, 135 megawatts), the baseload Chinook Power Station at Swift Current (353 megawatts) and peaking plant Spy Hill Power Station (89 megawatts). Another 353 megawatt baseload
“I’m really happy the province recognizes potash as a critical mineral. But I also think the province recognizes that potash is to food security what lithium and rare earths are to energy security. And that’s very, very important. Today a lot a lot of people think it’s all about energy transition. But it’s also, I would say, as important a discussion is food security,” Halabura said on March 27.
One of the key new items is the increasing the Saskatchewan Mineral Exploration Tax Credit (SMETC) from 10 to 30 per cent. This is also known as “flow-through shares.” And for a new potash producer
Halabura said, “I believe that the increase in the SMETC is huge. That really will make it easier to raise money via flow-through. Now, I’m hoping that tomorrow’s federal budget, the federal government, will include potash as one of the critical minerals that are eligible for the Critical Mineral Exploration Tax Credit. It will be an extra 30 per cent.”
SaskEnergy said it measures daily natural gas consumption for the 24-hour period from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. A PJ is a unit of measurement equivalent to one million gigajoules (GJ) of natural gas. An average Saskatchewan home consumes about 100 GJ of natural gas each year.
“SaskEnergy’s natural gas system design can accommodate additional capacity to manage increased consumption even on peak days,” SaskEnergy president and CEO Ken From said in a release. “Throughout the year, SaskEnergy employees inspect, maintain and enhance the system to support safe and reliable natural gas delivery in all weather conditions. In addition, employees monitor the system 24 hours a day to ensure sufficient system capacity to meet customer demand across the province.”
Halabura said it’s a cheap form of incentive that doesn’t really cost the province that much. “But it can generate a disproportionate return on that investment for new production, for new mines.
This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.
“So, it’s very good. I think it’s a good way to provide incentives without having to muck around with royalty rates or that sort of thing,” he said.
When natural gas prices took a tumble roughly 14 years ago, Saskatchewan’s domestic gas production fell off a cliff. Targeted gas drilling went essentially extinct, with next to no gas-specific wells being drilled in this province for most of the past decade. Our domestic gas production is now largely based on associated gas production that comes with oil production. As a result, Saskatchewan went from being a net gas exporter for the period of 1988 to 2009 to a net importer that year.
Asked if Buffalo would be taking advantage of the flow-through opportunity, Halabura said, “Absolutely! In fact, we’re going to rethink our budget and our financing strategy in light of this. I’m waiting to see what happens on the federal side. But this is this is significant for I think the small modular protoash sector in general.”
Buffalo is part of a new generation of small, modular potash producers, including Western Potash and Gen-
LR RANGER
source, which are developing relatively quick, less expensive and incremental increased in potash production without having to go through the multibillion dollar, decade-long development process of creating new underground mines like BHP Jansen.
Halabura said, “That’s exactly what the whole point of what small modular potash is. You don’t have to go through the decades-long process. Mine construction is in the billions and billions of dollars. That always has been one of the major barrier entries to being in potash is the cost of thinking shafts or vertical caverns. That’s why you don’t know the last go round of potash in-
terest, you only saw K+S come up with their mine is new greenfield mine. K3 is replacing K1 and K2, traditional mines are very, very expensive. He pointed out that this form of potash development, as well as lithium will both have a similar impact on the oil and gas sector. They will largely use oilfield technology and services, like drilling rigs and service rigs, to access the resource, resulting in more drilling activity, more work, more jobs.
Buffalo Potash is continuing to work on financing for its Disley project, west of Craven. And these new developments will help in that process.

In these days of instant gratification, it isn’t popular to take the slow road. I love my instant pot, don’t get me wrong. But cooking a pork roast in the slow cooker or oven is better than using an instant pot because the slow and steady heat allows for even cooking and richer flavor.
If feeding a crowd or having leftovers are important to you, larger cuts of meat can also be cooked more evenly in an oven or slow cooker, which may not be possible in an instant pot. While an instant pot is convenient for quick cooking, an oven or slow cooker can result in a culinary masterpiece worthy of the wait.
The recipe I’m sharing today has been around forever. It’s melt-inyour-mouth juicy pork, enrobed in a sweet and tangy glaze. It’s all about the glaze. You could put this glaze on a flip-flop and I would eat it.
CROCK-POT BROWN SUGAR & BALSAMIC GLAZED PORK
Yield: 8 generous servings
Total time: 4 to 6 hours, plus glazing time
4 - 5 pounds boneless pork sirloin
Season the pork roast on all sides with sage, salt and pepper. Place pork, fat cap side up, in the slow cooker and sprinkle the garlic evenly over the top. Carefully add water into the slow cooker so you don’t wash off the seasoning. Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours, or until the pork shreds easily with a fork. Carefully pull the roast from the slow cooker and place on an aluminumlined sheet pan, and let it rest.
about half the glaze into a gravy boat and set aside. Brush about half of the remaining glaze onto the pork and set under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized. Repeat 2 to 3 more times until desired coating is achieved. Shred or slice pork against the grain into individual portions. Serve with reserved glaze on the side. Oven directions: Preheat your oven to 350 F. Following the recipe and directions above, place the ingredients into a covered roasting pan or Dutch oven. Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours, or until the pork shreds easily with a fork. Follow the directions for glazing the pork shown above.
It’s important to note that oven cooking times can vary, so be sure to keep an eye on the pork as it cooks to ensure that it doesn’t overcook or dry out.

While the roast is resting, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, mix the ingredients for the glaze: brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce and cornstarch mixed with the water. Heat over medium, stirring until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes. Preheat your oven broiler. Pour
